"Damn it, why are you only saying it now?" said Blake with a restrained curse. The man also pointed in the direction in front of him."Why are we so unlucky?" chuckled Mad in a sad tone because the six humans saw a brown bear blocking their way.The brown bear also raised both hands as if to show that it was a giant creature. So, they must be prepared to become its prey for daring to enter its home."Just shoot the bear. We have to shoot it together!" Nelson said firmly. The man ventured to stare at the ferocious bear in front of him.Blake quickly took out the anesthetic that he had fortunately prepared from home. "Mr. Nelson, we can't shoot randomly. I happen to have two very powerful tranquillizer injection pistols, so Danny and I will shoot him in the chest. You guys immobilize his legs and arms.""Okay, you guys shoot his chest. Flora and I shoot his legs, and Elan and Mad shoot his hands. On the count of one, two, three... shoot!" Nelson shouted out the signal.Bang... bang... b
Feeling the murderous stares from the surroundings, Flora finally realized her mistake. She quickly corrected her words. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to ask something you don't want to answer, so just forget my question."Looking at the stammering Flora, Nelson took a deep breath. "Huh, take it easy. No problem. However, I would like to answer your little question. So, when I was a little girl, my grandparents found me in front of their house with a dazed look, and from then on, they adopted me as their granddaughter. You must be wondering why I said abandoned. Because I don't have the slightest memory of it all, and when I grew up, the children in the village taunted me by saying that I was an unwanted child and my parents had abandoned me because I was too ugly and naughty. As a child, of course, I believed those words and the taunts unknowingly traumatized me."Everyone was silent, listening to Nelson's sad story; of course, everyone there did not expect their boss to have such a trag
"I was thinking that maybe one of the stone statues was special, and I had brought along an ultraviolet flashlight, so if one of the statues were made of crystal or similar material, it would be visible with this flashlight." Mad showed Nelson the flashlight in his bag."You're right. We can use this flashlight." Nelson, who had glimpsed the flashlight, immediately returned it to its owner so that Mad could use it directly. "Point your flashlights down. Let Mad do it." Nelson ordered the others to stop shining their flashlights on the statue above the cave ceiling for a moment.After everyone stopped shining their flashlights, it was time for Mad to do his job. With detail, the man shone the flashlight one by one on the statue until finally, when he reached the statue in the centre, the statue's eyes emitted light. At the same time, the other statues did not."Mr. Nelson, it seems that the person who made the statue deliberately used gems in the eyes of the bat statue above because,
"No sir, we didn't mean it that way-""Then what do you mean, Danny? The point is that I will be with Blake and Flora because I'm not some little kid you guys have to protect like a child. I can take care of myself, and now start splitting up!" Nelson said firmly, cutting off Danny's explanation. The man walked away quickly, so Blake and Flora immediately ran a little, following Nelson's steps.Meanwhile, seeing the departure of Nelson and his team, Danny could only sigh softly. "Let it go; the lord is not as weak as we think, and it is better now that we continue our journey, Mad. Please make sure that we keep in touch with them."Everyone nodded slowly in agreement with Danny's words; after all, Nelson was their boss, and he had the final say among them all.Both teams were now on different paths, Nelson's team looking exhausted as Nelson walked quickly in irritation."Mr. Nelson, wait..." Flora shouted desperately when she couldn't keep up with Nelson's pace anymore because they ha
Just one step away, the masked man with a gun on his body opened the bushes, but he was stopped in his tracks by his friend."What are you doing? There's nothing there, and the people outside have confirmed that we saw the wrong car outside the forest because that car is no longer there. Maybe it was just someone who stopped by, and now he's out of the forest," said another man Nelson could hear while Nelson, Flora, and Blake, who were in the bushes, breathed a little relief to hear all that. Moreover, the man who had wanted to open the bushes had moved away from the hiding place of the three."Maybe I saw wrong, let's go. Sir is waiting for you," the man who had wanted to make bushes got back into their car, and soon, the two vehicles left the location of Nelson and his two companions.After the men left, Nelson realized that his communication device had been vibrating slightly, and he remembered that his subordinates might be in danger.Nelson quickly contacted Mad, who told the thr
"According to the information I got, they are the bodyguards of the biggest drug dealer in the city and the forbidden forest is often used as a transaction place because even the police would not want to check this place because it is dangerous. That's why they are here. However, this is only provisional information, sir; I don't know what else they will do here."Nelson listened well to Mad's explanation, and the man felt it all made sense."Does this mean that the mafia is using this forbidden land to do business?" asked Nelson with a meaningful smile."Sir is right, and none of them are interested in mining because many have tried to dig, but they only got zonk," Mad continued, and Nelson smiled even more at the all-important information."Good, that's better," Nelson replied excitedly, smoothing his messy hair."Excuse me, sir, why are you so sure there is something valuable there? I even heard that they used experts to mine there, but unfortunately, they didn't find anything valu
"What do you mean, Miss Flora?" said Nelson, trying to be as casual as possible; the man had also cut off communication with the system before Flora realized something was wrong with him."I heard you talking earlier, so who were you talking to, Mr. Nelson? There's no one here. You couldn't have been talking to yourself." Flora repeated her question."I'm talking? Hahaha, it looks like you're still in dreamland, Miss Flora. How could I possibly talk to the mosquitoes here?" Nelson shot back at Flora with a mocking look as if to say he was hallucinating."Okay, maybe I'm wrong, but where are the others?" asked Flora in a disgruntled tone."The others are currently at the river. We will continue our journey in a little while. So they'll clean up first for a while, then if you want to go to the river too, we'll do it after they come back." Nelson explained, and Flora nodded in understanding.After explaining everything, Nelson said goodbye to Flora to follow the others to the river, and
"It looks like there are not only bombs scattered here but also many other traps. If Mr. Nelson had stepped on one of those traps, I’m sure he would have been impaled to death by the sharp metal. I can’t imagine how painful that would be," Danny said in a bitter tone.They almost saw their master die in front of their eyes.Nelson, who had just escaped death, only stroked his chest briefly. The man did not expect there to be such a thing in his life. The system didn’t even warn him."Where there is one trap, there will be another. We have to be careful," Blake said as he looked around him, but he had nothing to reference whether the place was safe or not."You’re right, Mr. Blake, we should be careful. It’s possible that the trap was set because there’s something hidden here, like a treasure." Flora answered in the affirmative because the woman thought there must be something very valuable there. That’s why the security of the place was so tight."I agree with you, but we can’t back d
